Local and aspiring musicians in or near Providence, Rhode Island are hereby invited to join our new impromptu music group: Providence Haven. For those who haven’t heard of it, here is an introduction.

Providence Haven is an impromptu music group in Providence, Rhode Island. They are organized by the Haven Core Team, which comprises Jairson Ascenco, Elias the Tengukid, and Agostino (Gus) Minter. The team was formed in the coffee shop atop the East Side tunnel on 10/22/2019. Witnessed the formation were Nickantony (Nick) Quach, Desirée (Desi) De Melo, and Gorden. Their first decision was to invite all participants to join them at their impromptu-music event in following week, on 10/29/2019 at Thayer Street, and give them a chance participate in the process of making the first set of important group decisions. | Tell me more
